Analysis of crystalline hemoglobin of the nematode
Author(s): Sanjay Kumar
Abstract: Crystalline and dissolved hemoglobin in the optical part could affect the interpretation of the absorption spectra if the hemoglobin in the two states were different. However, there was no evidence of a difference in spectral properties except for the effect of the orientation of the chromophore in the crystal. This paper presents the unusual absorption spectrum due to contamination with ferric hemoglobin. Are the crystals composed of hemoglobin as is suggested by high hemoglobin concentration and high electron density. We show in fresh preparations that the native hemoglobin spectrum is the same as in extracts and entirely due HbO2
